The MAIN reason I’m not freaking out over Onyemata’s suspension

I agree with ndcc, I think Nielsen will find ways to get QB pressure and do a decent job of stopping the run. I think he's gotten the most from our DL his entire career with the Saints, and I don't expect him to regress because of the loss of 1 good player.

Yep! I’ve said for the longest that the man is one of the best “teaching coaches” in the league!

But he’s also got a “good eye” for D line talent! While at NCSt, he actually recruited a lot of the D line players who went on to play for him. Not many college coaches can say that not only they they recruit em, but he had like 4 of em all get drafted in the same year ( led by Bradley Chubb!).

He successfully got those players from close by in the region too. But I also remember the story of the one player he recruited, but got away.

That one player was Shy Tuttle! 😂
